In the course of the NIR/MIR AGN search combining the 6.7 mu ISOCAM Parallel Survey and 2MASS we have discovered 24 type-1 quasars about a third of which are too red to be discrimi…
Near and Mid-IR Photometry of the Pleiades, and a New List of Substellar Candidate Members
John R. Stauffer, Lee W. Hartmann, Giovanni G. Fazio +13
We make use of new near and mid-IR photometry of the Pleiades cluster in order to help identify proposed cluster members. We also use the new photometry with previously published p…
Narrow-line AGN in the ISO-2MASS Survey
C. Leipski, M. Haas, H. Meusinger +9
Context: A long-standing challenge of observational AGN research is to find type 2 quasars, the luminous analogues of Seyfert-2 galaxies. Aims: We search for luminous narrow-line t…
Reconstructed Density and Velocity Fields from the 2MASS Redshift Survey
Pirin Erdogdu, Ofer Lahav, John P. Huchra +13
We present the reconstructed real-space density and the predicted velocity fields from the Two Mass Redshift Survey (2MRS). The 2MRS is the densest all-sky redshift survey to date…
